That's something I haven't made before, I do enjoy tex mex food, I make a heathen version of chilli, with beans. Tacos, Enchiladas, usually with ground beef or pork. I took the easy route and did sweet potato mash and some butter bean/tomato thing which turned out ok

I'm in a similar boat, I can't tell if it's helping or hindering anymore. Head says hindering, but drinking does actually help in small doses, but I can't keep it to small doses. If there's anyone reading this and in two minds about drinking/quitting stop while you're ahead, take it from me, you don't want to be where I am.

I mean short term treatment, longer term, counselling sessions seem to be helping. I keep meaning to go to a group, but I suffer with major social anxiety so I keep putting that off. I might go for a walk and pick up that Alan Carr book from the library.

I wish it was that simple, I've explored pretty much every avenue in terms of treatment. I tend to binge drink, so by the time I can pull myself up and seek help, I'm usually considered "fine" which doesn't help me now, best case scenario for me at the moment is drink a bottle of wine in about an hour, eat something and get some sleep.

I've sort of been there done that with drinking, I literally have two options, keep drinking and taper down, or go cold turkey which would probably involve a trip to A & E. It's kind of a joke at this point, I'm at a stage where a detox would be a great idea, but I need to drink for three straight weeks before I can even be considered...

I can relate to a lot of that, I've been to my GP this morning because I blacked out last night and I've wrecked my eye. The advice I've been given is, don't stop drinking, make sure I eat and get sugar down me. I don't even want to keep drinking, but I've gone too far and I'm not that far off a seizure

Yes! That's it, this dog will stare, and isn't outwardly anything, other than a bit excitable. I've just never seen it before, pretty interesting though. It's become legend, he barked once apparently, no one knows why.

A beeper? I'm slightly younger and we had mobile phones, granted they'd just arrived but they were affordable and you could fit 160 characters into a message and read them line by line. Phillips U master race http://www.unimobiles.com/savvyu.jpg

Oh there's nothing wrong in my "expert" opinion, it's a healthy looking specimen of whatever it is. Just never encountered a dog that didn't make any sort of noise, makes it hard to judge if it's being playful or wants to eat me

If I can make a sneaky snap, I may do. But I'm just curious, I've heard "Japanese Akitas don't bark" but a quick search suggests some will and some won't? I don't think it's been through a procedure though, the owners breed for sale so I'm assuming they wouldn't do that.

I don't know, this is all pure curiosity, I've never seen a "mute" dog before and it got me interested.

Absolutely not, it's a concern, sure, but usually in those cases where you feel like as described above. In those situations you'd either be clamouring for another drink to make it stop or just go to ER without questioning it.

If you tapered down and last had a bottle of wine, you're going to feel physically shit for a while, but not in danger. It'll improve quickly though, stick with it.
